Abstract
Central Asia constituting five independent Republics such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan is India’s proximate neighbour. Their re-emergence into the Asian geopolitics not just changed the political geography of the region but also presented several issues of both interest and concern for its neighbours. India being the largest neighbour of Central Asia in South Asia like other neighbours too have certain geopolitical and geo-economics interests to materialise in the region. Since India is aspiring for a major power role in the International System, New Delhi as of now cannot leapfrog to the global high table without demonstrating effective initiative at the regional level – Central Asia is an important regional constituent. It is in this context, this article makes a modest attempt to examine India’s interests in the region and evaluate the challenges it has been facing in actualising them.
